In a commanding performance, the Dallas Cowboys topped the Houston Texans with a final score of 49-13 in Week 4 of the 2026 season. The victory was crucial for the Cowboys as they strive to solidify their position in the playoff race. Dak Prescott was the standout player on offense, throwing for an impressive 359 yards and five touchdowns, showcasing his elite passing ability. Derrick Henry added a powerful ground game with 104 rushing yards, while George Pickens contributed significantly with 100 receiving yards, making the Cowboys' offense nearly unstoppable throughout the contest. Defensively, the Texans struggled to contain the explosive Cowboys' offense. Although Will Anderson Jr. recorded a sack, the lack of consistent pressure allowed Prescott to operate comfortably in the pocket. The game’s turning point came in the second quarter when the Cowboys scored three touchdowns in quick succession, effectively putting the game out of reach for Houston.
